data source: the forward-looking Industry Research Institute collates the analysis of the four short boards of China's robot industry

1. The main innovation ability is not strong. Although China has basically mastered the relevant technologies of industrial robots such as ontology design and manufacturing, control system software and hardware, motion planning, there is still a large gap between the overall technical level and foreign countries; Our country lacks original achievements and innovative ideas of core and key technologies, and the problem of lack of facing the needs of enterprises and markets is still prominent; The technical gap in basic functional components with high reliability such as precision reducer, servo motor, servo driver and controller is particularly prominent, and they rely on imports for a long time

2. The market share of production brands is low

a number of robot leading enterprises have emerged in China, and launched the ocean cleanup project last year, hoping to liquidate marine garbage, such as Xinsong, Harbin Institute of technology, Dajiang, kevos, etc., but there is still a certain gap in popularity compared with the four robot families abb, KUKA, FANUC, and Anchuan. Foreign brands have targeted the Chinese market and accelerated market penetration and layout in terms of price, industry segmentation and promotion. The robot products sold by foreign-funded enterprises in China are mainly multi joint robots, accounting for 84% of the total industrial robots sold in China; Multi joint robots are the main force of domestic robots, accounting for 41% of its sales. The proportion of domestic robot independent brands is not high, the product characteristics are not obvious enough, and the brand influence is not large

3. High external dependence on core parts

due to the gap in the technology of core parts such as reducers and servo motors, domestic manufacturers tend to rely very heavily on international manufacturers, and the purchase premium is very serious. The key parts servo motors, controllers and reducers account for 50%-60% of the cost, and the multi joint robot reducer accounts for about 30% of the cost, which directly restricts the further breakthrough of China's robot industry

4. The foundation of unified production and manufacturing industry is weak.

the development of industrial robot industry cannot be separated from the development of other processing and manufacturing industries such as machinery manufacturing and electronic equipment. At this stage, the technical level of China's basic processing and manufacturing field is relatively weak, and many high-quality resources and preferential national policies are biased towards the development of information technology industry, resulting in the unbalanced development of domestic industrial structure, This makes the comprehensive field of industrial robots unable to give full play to the advantages of the domestic high-tech information industry, and seriously weakens the progress of the development of the domestic industrial robot industry

analysis of five favorable factors in China's robot industry

1. Favorable policies. In April 2016, the Ministry of industry and information technology, the national development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued the robot industry development plan (year). The plan proposes to form China's own relatively perfect robot industry system within five years, and lists the targeted main tasks. First, promote major landmark products to take the lead in breakthroughs; Second, vigorously develop the key parts of robots; Third, strengthen the basic industrial capacity; Fourth, focus on promoting application demonstration; Fifth, actively cultivate leading enterprises. China's robot industry is in a period of opportunity superposition with the release of industrial transformation and upgrading needs, prominent national policy dividends, and capital market boost. There is great investment potential in the upstream parts of the robot industry chain, midstream ontology manufacturing and system integration, and downstream applications

in December 2017, the Ministry of industry and information technology issued the three-year action plan for promoting the development of the new generation of artificial intelligence industry (year). In terms of intelligent service robots, the plan proposes that the types of aluminum alloy anodizing include ordinary anodizing essence, ordinary anodizing dyeing, hard anodizing essence, hard anodizing dyeing, special hard anodizing, etc. in 2020, breakthroughs have been made in key technologies such as environmental perception, natural interaction, autonomous learning, human-computer cooperation, intelligent home service robots Intelligent public service robots have achieved mass production and application, medical rehabilitation, helping the elderly and the disabled, fire disaster relief and other robots have achieved prototype production, completed technical and functional verification, and achieved more than 20 application demonstrations. In terms of deepening the development of intelligent manufacturing, the plan proposes that by 2020, the intelligent level of high-end CNC machine tools will be further improved, and a new generation of industrial robots with human-computer coordination, natural interaction and autonomous learning functions will realize mass production and application

at present, the vast majority of material experiments are static performance experiments. 2. Industrial clusters have been formed.

China's industrial robots have formed four industrial clusters around the Bohai Sea, the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta and the central and western regions. The Bohai Rim region, represented by Beijing, Harbin and Shenyang, has strong scientific research strength and numerous research institutions; The domestic representative enterprises include Shenyang Xinsong, Harbin Institute of technology robot, Harbin Boshi, etc., which are all industry leading enterprises, and the leading enterprises have obvious traction. The robot industry in the Yangtze River delta developed earlier, with strong strength and high development level. Four families, domestic leading enterprises and scientific research institutions are all distributed here. The Pearl River Delta region has an advantage in the control system. Guangzhou CNC is a professional complete set of machine tool CNC system supplier with leading domestic technology, and the annual production and sales of CNC systems account for 1/2 of the domestic market share of similar products; In addition, the economically developed coastal areas are the main market for domestic industrial robots, and the market application space in the Pearl River Delta is large. The robot industry in the central and western regions started late, but was unwilling to be outdone. In recent years, with the help of external scientific and technological resources, the development momentum is strong. The industry leading enterprise evert has become stronger from scratch, and the backbone enterprises have also developed rapidly; There are few research institutions and local scientific research resources are slightly insufficient

3. The demand of downstream manufacturing enterprises for industrial upgrading

at present, many manufacturing enterprises in developed countries have achieved fine production, using automatic equipment in the whole process from production, detection to storage and packaging, so as to ensure the stability of products and Jinan testing machine. Why is it so good? Reliability. In contrast, most manufacturing enterprises in China are still in the early stage of automation, mainly in the extensive development mode, with low added value of products, and there is also much room for improvement in product stability. With the improvement of people's requirements for product quality in the future, China's industrial manufacturing will also be upgraded in the direction of intensive and intelligent. The degree of automation will be higher and higher, and the demand for automation equipment will be gradually released

4. Emerging technologies are gradually integrated with big data, virtual reality, artificial intelligence and other technologies, which are increasingly closely integrated with intelligent manufacturing and robotics, promoting its rapid development. For example, the application of virtual reality technology has promoted the development and application of digital twin mode in automobile, aviation and aerospace industries, promoted the construction of a new generation of intelligent factory integrating design and simulation, manufacturing execution and quality traceability, data acquisition and analysis, and promoted these industries to enter a new stage of virtual manufacturing. Artificial intelligence technology and Internet technology are closely integrated with the robot field, which improves the intelligent level of robots, enables robot products to flexibly perform various and diverse tasks, and leads the innovative development of intelligent robots

5. Machine replacement boom

on the one hand, with the reduction of demographic dividends, labor shortages and rising labor costs, China's labor cost advantage over other developing countries is slowly weakening, and labor-intensive industries are gradually transferring to other countries in Southeast Asia. India has formulated more preferential policies and measures to attract foreign investment than China, and the quality of its professionals is not inferior to China. The competition between the two countries in labor-intensive products is very fierce

on the other hand, the government is also promoting the application of robots in key positions, especially promoting a number of professional robots in positions such as health hazards and dangerous working environments, repetitive heavy labor, intelligent sampling and analysis. In recent years, the upsurge of machine replacement is sweeping Guangdong, Jiangsu and other manufacturing developed areas
